| Refs: | Saw this comment on reddit which I thought was interesting: 日本語の「責任」って「責任を持つ」「責任がある」はresponsibility の意味だけど、「責任をを取る」は「落とし前をつける」みたいな意味になってるよ ね。 See also: https://hinative.com/ja/questions/8055619 結婚したら家族の責任を持つことになります。 子供が他人に迷惑をかけたら、親はその責任を取ることになります。 jitsuyo entry for 責任を取る: 物事の結果に伴って生じた責務を引き受けること。 https://eow.alc.co.jp/search?q=accept+the+blame my impression aligns with this, that 責任をを取る is about (volunteering to) take the blame for when things have gone bad. to deal with the problems that HAVE arisen, while 責任を持つ is more about stating preparedness to deal with hypothetical issues that might arise and having responsibilities in a more general sense. |

| Comments: | I think the "for" is superfluous. This expression can stand on its own, e.g. "自分のしたことには自分で責任を取らなくてはならない". |
